figured out i need to be doing more people studies where they're interacting with each other bc it's so fun and i finally love drawing again

Yes, it's funny that Hua Cheng calls his house Paradise Manor, which sounds like a brothel.

But consider, Xie Lian's notable phrase was "body in abyss, heart in paradise"

He's literally built a house for his love

Izuku: I think Kacchan gets annoyed when I tell him good night every night.

Todoroki: Then just don’t tell him that tonight. He’ll appreciate it.

Izuku: Yeah, I think you’re right, haha.

-

Bakugo, walking through the lobby: I’m going to bed, losers.

Izuku, sitting on the couch: Okay, Kacchan.

Bakugo, leaves room:

Todoroki and Izuku, silently watches TV:

Bakugo, walks back in: What the hell is your problem?

Izuku: What?

Bakugo, choked up: Fu*k you. *leaves*

Izuku: What’s wrong with him?

Todoroki, knew that’s what would happen: He needs to face reality, that’s what.

What I’m learning from reading danmei is that the only way to tell another man you love him is to literally die in front of him and then he’ll figure it out

like breaking down xie lian to his simplest form of what kind of god he comes across in the novels, considering that it's canonical that gods can change on a whim based on how the people who pray to them interpret them, he really is like. a rad idea

he's called the scrap god and insulted but if you just purely look at his actions and how he lives he can so easily be interpreted as a god of truth and peace, and a god of the downtrodden - the god to protect people in poverty, people with 'lowly' jobs like busking and garbage cleaning, people dealing with misfortune, minorities(particularly sexual) or colonized people, people who are chronically ill(qianqiu as a child), people who think they're unlovable due to their appearance, personality, or past crimes

it feels very reminiscent of the themes you see consistently in pantheons. multiple themes covering a single god, and the theme of that sort of god being married to someone who represents evils

EDIT: thinking further on it, I wonder if praying to give one's bad luck and bad experiences and pain to Xie Lian would work. He is so unlucky that those who pray(probably for prosperity and good fortune) only get bad luck too. maybe the reason for this is revealed later and I'm not aware yet or maybe it's simply that there's a trick to praying for xie lian. that it works the same way his swordfighting works - he takes the injury in lieu of its intended target.

additionally, hua cheng has his own version of what i was talking about. people pray to him as a god, too - a god of crime and of evil, but he's also a god of mischief and of youth, particularly naughty children and street urchins who have to steal to eat. in the revisions, we learn that he fulfills the wishes of those children that pray to him.
